In PHP, form handling refers to the process of capturing data submitted through an HTML form and processing it on the server-side. Here’s an example of how to handle a form in PHP:
1. Create an HTML form with fields to capture user input:
“`html
“`
2. Create a PHP script to process the form data (`process.php` in the example above):
“`php
“;
echo “Email: ” . $email . “
“;
}
}
?>
“`
In this example, the form is submitted to `process.php` using the HTTP POST method. The PHP script checks if the request method is POST, retrieves the form data using the `$_POST` superglobal, and performs validation and processing on the data. Finally, the script echoes the submitted data or any error messages.
